At ASCENDtials, our Internship Program welcomes students from all majors who want to expand their knowledge and gain meaningful, hands‑on experience. Our work reconnects students with the natural world, encouraging self‑awareness and a deeper understanding of our relationship with the environment. As our world becomes increasingly technology‑driven, maintaining balance with nature is essential for our well‑being—mind, body, and spirit.

If you’re ready to explore a holistic, nature‑centered approach to learning, we invite you to begin your internship journey with us.

Step 1 — Create Your ASCENDtials Dashboard Account (Required)
Your Dashboard is your central hub for:

• scheduling your interview
• completing your application
• accessing onboarding materials
• receiving program updates

Applicants who complete their Dashboard setup are fast‑tracked into the next steps of the process.

Step 2 — Schedule Your Interview Through the Dashboard

Once your Dashboard is active, you’ll be able to schedule your interview directly inside the system.
This conversation helps us:

• learn about your interests
• understand your goals
• confirm program fit
• answer your questions

Completing your Dashboard setup and interview places you on the fast‑track for acceptance and onboarding.

Step 3 — If Accepted, You’ll Be Fast‑Tracked Into the Next Onboarding Session

Most interns who complete their interview are placed into the next available onboarding session, typically held the following Monday.

Onboarding includes:

• orientation to ASCENDtials programs
• introduction to tools and platforms
• expectations and communication norms
• your first assignments and next steps

Optional: Apply Through Handshake
If you prefer, you may also submit your application through your Handshake account.

However, all applicants must complete the Dashboard setup to move forward in the process.
